With the World Championship in Pokemon in 2025 in the rear -view mirror and incredible winners, such as Giovanni, they took their Glee home prizes, the rest of the planet remained tuned to the end for even more agreement for so many of us who stood in side places. Pokemon promised something big for closing, and now we have it.
Not only did we have received some big messages in the form of Multiplayer Battle Club for Pokemon Legends: For – here is a link to this bomb! – But we have also learned something with quite dramatic consequences: rather than the traditional main title representing Pokemon's VGC in 2026, as always in the past, Pokemon Champions will take the throne.
Champions at the championship
Pokemon Champions is a seemingly spinoff game. However, it is a spinoff with an explicit purpose to provide a completely competitive experience. Whether it is because the main games of the Pokemon tenth generation will not be in time on Sunny San Francisco 2026 in Pokemon, or because the champions will be a routine representative of the tournament scene next year, we can at least expect Pokemon Champions.
This is a paradigm shift. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have been accused for years. In front of them it was Pokemon Sword and Shield. Another back you look like and everything you really see is generation numbers that have first exploded the tournament scene on the global scene. But Pokemon Champions challenges our prejudices.
In fact, although Pokemon Gen 10 will stand in 2027, Pokemon Champions urine Stick on the long track. From the official website of Pokemon:
“The Pokemon World Championship is the highlight of Pokémon and Champions Pokemon will soon be part of the Pokemon VGC battles will take place at the Pokemon Championships at the Pokemon World Championship in San Francisco and future championship series.”
So yes. If you are on the competitive side of the beautiful world of Pokémon, it is certain that in 2026 you will see a lot of champions and it is not even in the area of the possibility that you will continue to see it in 27 and further.
